Congrats to the Spurs. Best team in the NBA by a large margin. Of all the teams in the league not named the Pistons, they are the only team I don't mind seeing win it all. Watching Miami win last year was brutal.

If someone had told me at the beginning, middle and end of the regular season that the Spurs would win the championship this year, I would not have thought if possible. It goes to show what a young fan (in NBA playoff experience fanwise) I really am. The Suns were so great to watch, Dallas very inspiring with all those win streaks, the Pistons had their moments post Chris Webber acquisition, Utah had a fantastic start and the Bulls were showing speed and savvy beyond their own experience level. All that fun and who ends up with the prize? The same old same old Spurs. Devastating loss IMO for the future of the NBA.

Next year, I've decided I'm just following the regular season. Nuts to the post-season and the championship. The last four teams were all predictable, dull and played ugly. Enough. Well except for Utah. Well even them except for Deron Williams. The rest...including the Pistons...dreadfully dull playoff series.

I guess I just don't like playoff basketball. Call me a regular season bandwagon azz cat from now on.

Am I the only that was glad that the Spurs celebrated the championship on the Cavs' court? Man that was sweet to see on the morning sport report. I guess there will be no game five now. Not even a single game win for the Cavs in the Finals. Poor baby.

Thanks guys for the support and fun it's been the last 2 years. I dont expect Spurs to win next year simply that it is rare for teams to win back to back 'ships and it seems true for us...03-05-07 then maybe 2009? I know spurs will be making changes, but who knows? One of the intangibles of having a winning team is that good players, vets, make the decisions to move and come with Spurs. When Dallas let Michael Finley go (ha, and they are still paying him) a lot of big teams wanted him but he very quietly met with Pop and joined the Spurs. These guys want to play with a team that is legitimate contender and pop lets them know they will have to learn to fit into his game. So the Spurs were soooooo happy to see Findly get his ring, Fabricio (who already had international recognition) waited 2 years working on his game and he gets his ring, then there is Jacques Vaughn, the Red Rocket, Francisco Elsin and really, all the guys.

I know the Pistons will most likely make some changes and I hope you get some really good deals, I think our ways of playing will be around a little bit longer, Sterns "experiment" of super star over dinosaurs didnt work out. Can you believe that guy? When presenting the trophy he went right into his spiel about how wonderful the Cavs were, what wonderful host, and King james, etc. then sort of just as an afterthought kinda passed the trophy over to spurs owner, not sure he even congratulated spurs.

So, I dont think its imagined that Sterns doesnt like Spur and Pistons. He did take care of what could have been a real problem ...Joey Crawford! Tim knew Joey had it in for him and couldnt understand why he hated him so, so it worked out good that Joey didnt ref.

Fans started honking and yelling last night at 10PM and lasted till 3AM all about 1 block from me. Best of all to you folks, and I will still be popping in checking on the news.

Barbara, with the coaching and those three core players of Duncan, Parker and Manu, your team is always a threat to be there when the trophy is hoisted. So any team in the west> Suns, Mavs, Rockets, Nuggs, or Jazz have to know that WC Championship still has to go through San Antonio as long as those three are healthy the next 2-3 years.

We look forward to sparring with you next year if not on the court at least here in print Congrats again!
